This Oregon beach is calling your name! Sand Station Beach might be one Oregon beach that you’ve never heard of before, and there’s a good reason for that. This beach is NOT on the Oregon coast; rather, it’s inland quite a distance. This beach, which is in the Sand Station Recreation Area in Hermiston, is not on the ocean at all. It’s on the Columbia River — on a section also known as Lake Wallula! You’ll love relaxing on this beautiful beach on a warm summer’s day. Read on to learn more.

Sand Station Recreation Area in Hermiston isn't very big. This small recreation area exists primarily for swimming and general river access.

And the beach itself is pretty nice. There are trees right along the beach that provide shade if you want it, but there's lots of space to lay out as if you're at the coast, too.
